I know that the universe is joyfully and abundantly reflecting my goal, manifesting my goal, and that it is in my life NOW!
As you are creating all your goals and desires, remember that you are already loved and totally acceptable as you are today, not for what you possess or who you will be in the future.

We are unlimited beings who have programmed ourselves to be limited. Watch what you “program,” or say, into your computer (brain).  Speaking of limits, there are positive uses for limits. Limits help us to structure our time and be responsible in our commitments to our relationships, families and careers. In these situations, limits are good.

Where we get stuck is by overwhelming ourselves with too much to do or in trying to “wear too many hats” that we don’t focus in on creating our most important goals and dreams.

If you focus on outside goals too much and ignore your inner voice, you’re thinking something or someone “out there” is going to fix you. You can waste a lot of time on goals that are not satisfactory.  If you pursue your goals from a place of fullness and self love, then you naturally attract what you need and want.

Meditation, prayer and your dreams help guide you to go within and help you reach your goals

  • Learn how to concentrate and keep your mind steady on your goals.
  • By cancelling out any negative self-defeating thoughts words and actions (say “cancel, cancel” when instances or negativity arise), you will create tons more time for your true visions and goals.
  • By staying centered you’ll be able to hear and see all of God’s endless clues for creating what you want. Otherwise you can be too scattered to hear God. By listening from within, your path will be clear. Over time, by staying centered, you will be shown how to heal your body, mind and spirit.
We are here on this earth plane to learn. We are learning to express our God natures and bring our spiritual awareness into the physical, not the other way around. You can’t buy spirituality. Getting lots of material things can’t make you spiritual – you already are!

Tools for Defining Your Goals

  1. Clarify Your Goals
    One of the most helpful exercises to gain clarity in our lives is to write down the goals we either consciously or sub-consciously hold in our minds. What beliefs or goals are now maintaining the patterns of your daily life? In recognizing how we created our present space, we gain perspective on how we want to set up new ones. Deciding what you want is a giant step along the way in gaining a larger sense of your life purpose.

  2. State Your Goal in the Present
    Feel your goal as if it already exists. Pretend someone is offering it to you right now; all you have to do is take one step forward. Do you have any hesitations or considerations? For example, what would so-and-so think? What would I do about this or that? I still have to do such-and-such first, etc. See what barriers or fears are standing in your way of “all systems go.”

  3. State and Feel Positive Affirmations About your Goal
    Say out loud the following:
    • This goal is for my highest good and the good of all concerned.
    • This or something better is now manifesting easily and effortlessly in the most perfect and satisfying way in my life.
    • I thank the Creative Power (God, Higher Power, etc.) for this opportunity to actualize my goal and experience my creative resourcefulness more fully.
    • I know that the universe is joyfully and abundantly reflecting my goal, manifesting my goal, and that it is in my life NOW!

To learn more about yourself and find out who you are it's important to set goals
  1. Feel the Reality of Your Goal Often
    Enjoy the wonderful feeling of self-expansion that your goal has helped you realize and feel your goal as having already manifested as a certainty in your life, as often as you wish. It is especially helpful to feel the reality of your goal before going to sleep at night or when first awakening in the morning.

  2. Determine Both Short Term and Long Range Goals
    It is good to have both short and long term goals, and it helps to further clarify them, your direction, wants and purpose as time goes on.

  3. Don’t Take On So Much That You Feel Overloaded or Pressured
    Goals should inspire joyousness, eagerness, excitement, self-confidents and purposefulness. If you are doing too much, you may just feel stressed. Delegate or remove those tasks that don’t get you to your goals.

  4. If You Don’t Achieve a Goal, Re-evaluate
    Did you really want it? Did it create tension and anxiety? Did your goal change? Do you need to rethink it again, or release it as not truly being an instrument for self-awareness? Refuse to allow yourself to get caught in a self-judgement trap of “failure” because the process of goal actualization has changed from your original thought.

  5. Never Take Goals Too Seriously
    This means to not take yourself too seriously. You make the rules in your cosmic learning and are free to go at your own pace, in your own way.
